باب هَلْ يَنْتَفِعُ الْوَاقِفُ بِوَقْفِهِ

Sahih Al Bukhari 2754

Narrated Anas

The Prophet ﷺ a man driving a Badana (i.e. camel for sacrifice) and said to him, "Ride on it." The man said, "O Allah's Messenger! It is a Bandana." (The Prophet (ﷺ) repeated his order) and on the third or fourth time he said, "Ride it, (woe to you" or said: "May Allah be merciful to you).

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم رَأَى رَجُلاً يَسُوقُ بَدَنَةً، فَقَالَ لَهُ ‏"‏ ارْكَبْهَا ‏"‏‏.‏ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّهَا بَدَنَةٌ‏.‏ قَالَ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ أَوِ الرَّابِعَةِ ‏"‏ ارْكَبْهَا، وَيْلَكَ، أَوْ وَيْحَكَ ‏"‏‏.‏
